I would absolutely recommend this book to anyone thinking about a career in the beauty industry. Tabatha's story outlines the pros and cons of both your professional and personal life while giving inspiration to aspiring hairstylists. She may come across as harsh or aggressive but this memoir shines another light on her life that made me respect her and her talent all the more.

I loved watching Tabatha on TV so when I saw she had written a memoir I was very excited. I read this book in two sittings and found it very interesting. You learn a lot about Tabatha and how she has become the person she is. If you enjoy her personality on TV I'm sure you will love her book :)

Love Tabitha, and her book. She is a no nonsense kinda girl, and you do not need to be a stylist to enjoy her book. Her life experience will certainly be an inspiration to anyone who reads this great book. So good read it in one sitting.
